Ordinary kids.
“With a sensibility very much in the vein of other light and airy Apple comedies, like the currently airing Ted Lasso, Small Prophets will fit in well as part of Apple’s catalog. In the show, a group of ordinary kids begin receiving glimpses of the future, and they must figure out whether fate can be changed.”

Sensibly, I chose to say nothing about this incident until I knew the immigration status of this family. The people who rushed in with the Padddington memes and ‘they is wiv Diana now 😢’ posts look very silly. Remember: always find out if they’re a refugeee before showing sympathy.
A news item reading
 ‘LIVE
Father who died alongside two family members in water off Shoreham was Palestinian refugee, embassy says
The Palestinian embassy in London says Hossam Al-Khawas died in the incident, as a young girl from the same family remains in a critical condition in hospital.’

Apparently Peter Mandelson is having difficulty recalling the details of this photo. I might be able to help him out with the timeline. The first iPad was released in 2010 so it can’t possibly be more than 16 years old. A phrase he probably overheard quite often on that island.
